BREAKING: “Chelsea’s Performance Was a Warning Shot — Arteta Must Act Now or Risk Falling Behind,” PSG Boss Luis Enrique Urges Arsenal to Make These 3 Key Changes to Compete for the Title

Following Chelsea’s impressive showing on the pitch today, Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has issued a blunt warning to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, insisting that major tactical and structural changes are urgently needed if the Gunners hope to stay in the title race next season.

 “If Arteta really wants to dominate the Premier League next season,” Enrique said, “he must not ignore what Chelsea just showed. From what I watched today, Chelsea look like a team on the rise — and if Arsenal don’t adjust quickly, they could easily get left behind.”

Luis Enrique went further, laying out three crucial areas Arteta must address immediately:

Strengthen the Spine of the Team

Enrique pointed out that while Arsenal play attractive football, their central midfield and defensive core lack the steel needed to grind out results in tougher games. He believes Arsenal need more physical presence and leadership down the middle someone who can take control when games become scrappy or high-pressure.

Add a Proven, Ruthless Goal Scorer

According to Enrique, Arsenal still lack a true “killer” in front of goal the kind of striker who guarantees 20+ league goals. He emphasized that relying solely on young talents like Gabriel Jesus or Nketiah won’t be enough to outscore top rivals like Manchester City or a rejuvenated Chelsea.

Improve Squad Depth and Mentality

While praising Arteta’s tactical growth, Enrique noted that depth and mentality are what separate challengers from champions. He advised the Arsenal manager to build a bench filled with players who can step up seamlessly and to cultivate a stronger, more resilient mindset within the squad one that doesn’t crumble under pressure or lose form during key stretches of the season.

Final Word: Arteta Under Pressure?

Luis Enrique’s comments come at a time when expectations at the Emirates are sky-high. After finishing second last season, many expect Arsenal to push even harder for the crown — but Enrique’s message is clear:

“This league is not forgiving. If Arteta doesn’t act decisively now, teams like Chelsea will overtake Arsenal before they even realize it.”

With preseason heating up and the Premier League curtain-raiser just weeks away, the pressure is now firmly on Arteta to turn potential into silverware.
